Naked Beauty

“None of us are coming out of this the way we went in”

Featuring Raisa Flowers, Illeisha Lussiano, and Vic Styles, this episode is all about quarantine self-care, DIY beauty routines, and optimal Netflix binging. Tune in and enjoy!

For Zoë Foster Blake, beauty should never be taken too seriously. Growing up in Australia, skincare and makeup equated to great conversation and community-building. But after years working as a beauty editor at Cosmopolitan and Harper’s BAZAAR, she found herself feeling bogged down by the complicated messaging that the industry had to offer. So in 2014, Blake decided to break out and establish her own brand, Go-To Skincare. With witty copy and clean ingredients, Go-To has clearly filled a much-needed gap within the beauty market. Tune in to hear us discuss the importance of protecting your skin barrier, how to achieve the perfect brow, and so much more!

What does beauty mean when you are alone? How does our relation to self-presentation change when we have no one to see? These are just a few of the questions that I have been asking myself as COVID-19 has begun to drastically change everyone’s lives and daily routines. In this time of self-quarantine, I decided to check in with my family and you, Naked Beauty listeners. Tune in to hear how coronavirus has impacted all of us, across generations, occupations, and so much more.

“I love subverting an eccentric English style because I’m a black Jamaican girl, so it contrasts. I’m obsessed with the contrast” - my guest Sharmadean Reid on this amazing episode of Naked Beauty

When it comes to London’s beauty scene, Sharmadean Reid is THE ONE to watch. After having founded the iconic WAH Nails back in 2009, Reid has continuously found ways to combine Black British culture with her exceptional Central Saint Martin’s education, love of technology and community. Today, Reid has expanded her empire through Beautystack- a mobile, beauty-booking software that also allows industry professionals to expand their own networks. Tune in for an unforgettable discussion on beauty technology, growing up in Wolverhampton, her favorite beauty spots in London, microblading, and the magical power of “face creaming”!

I got to sit down with the queen of K-Beauty herself, Charlotte Cho! Growing up in LA, sunscreen and toner seemed to be completely trivial to Cho. But after moving to South Korea post-grad, she was exposed to her own culture through an entirely new lens: skincare. And so upon returning to the States, she decided to start Soko Glam: an online retail shop completely dedicated to K-Beauty. Today, after eight years in the making, Charlotte has not only introduced the concept of the 10-step skincare routine to the American market, but has democratized beauty in such an unpredictable way. Tune in to hear about Charlotte’s favorite ingredients, her new brand - Then I Met You, and so much more!
